THE EQUINOX
The names of women members are never divulged.
It is not lawful here to disclose the name of any living
chief.
It was Karl Kellner who revived the exoteric organiza-
tion of the O.T.O. and initiated the plan now happily com-
plete of bringing all occult bodies again under one gov-
ernance.
The letters O.T.O. represent the words Ordo Templi
Orientis (Order of the Temple of the Orient, or Oriental
Templars), but they have also a secret meaning for initiates.
3. The Order is international, and has existing branches
in every civilized country of the world.
4. The aims of the O.T.O. can only be understood fully
by its highest initiates; but it may be said openly that it
teaches Hermetic Science or Occult Knowledge, the Pure
and Holy Magick of Light, the Secrets of Mystic attain-
ment, Yoga of all forms, Gnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakta
Yoga and Hatha Yoga, and all other branches of the secret
Wisdom of the Ancients.
In its bosom repose the Great Mysteries; its brain has re-
solved all the problems of philosophy and of life.
It possesses the secret of the Stone of the Wise, of the
Elixir of Immortality, and of the Universal Medicine.
Moreover, it possesses a Secret capable of realizing the
world-old dream of the Brotherhood of Man.
It also possesses in every important centre of population
a hidden Retreat (Collegium ad Spiritum Sanctum) where
members may conceal themselves in order to pursue the
Great Work without hindrance.
